"What do you mean bu the spam on your site? Can you please tell us more about that?"
Even though i have my own seo components on my web, gator seems to be always behind it, some 404 show up but other go to the HOST GATOR spam, seemed to on certain site, so hard to control. I sure there is way through.
I like to change all my dns so if there is no page there it will go to gator spam page. They make money like this no doubt, some registrar do this too. google search netfirms.ca you see what i mean.
The other thing is the control panel with gator is littered with other spammy offers, that i would avoid activating such attract that turned out be a big head ach to remove.
On the up side that is their custom control panel. the basic control panel has some bugs that you don't notice for some time so i think gator fixes this for you. Which in the long run saves them money too because any bugs take a lot of support to fix.
Gator a good choice too because they have so much to lose if they service is bad. So i was way over my nodes but they don't care, they have to stick to their unlimited. speed was not bad, but it is inconsistent.
Accord to google web aps my site where consistently running below average speed.
